Ponta Delgada....

 
..with the typical calçada portuguesa....

The Ghost Hotel....

 
..up there on the edge of the old volcano....
 
 
..the dream was this astonishing view towards Sete Cidades....
 
 
 ..and this is the same view many days of the year....
 
 

 
..and not much to do in the surroundings....
 
 
..the luxurious Hotel Monte Palace survived between 1989 and 1991....
 






 
  

..and the remnants of a dream....
